Employees may use vacation, accrued compensatory time off (CTO), or leave without pay (LWOP) for December 27 and 28, 2017, curtailment days. For employees who may not have sufficient accumulated vacation hours, up to two (2)days of vacation leave may be used in advance of actual accrual during the campus curtailment period. In addition, those employees who are normally required to wait six (6) months before using accrued vacation will be allowed to use their accrued vacation hours even if the required waiting period has not been completed.

Due to the diverse responsibilities of academic appointees and the flexibility in performing their obligations, it is anticipated that some academic appointees will continue working during campus curtailment.

Units planning to maintain operations as usual during the campus curtailment period must receive approval from their respective principal officer or designee and should refer to the "Exceptions to Campus Closure" memo that will be forthcoming from Physical Plant. This memo will explain the required procedure to ensure that heat is supplied to appropriate working areas. It is important to note, however, that building temperatures in underutilized areas will generally be reduced. Therefore, please advise staff to dress appropriately during this time. Unit heads should also notify their appropriate Staff HR Representative for time and payroll accounting purposes.

Biweekly employees not enrolled in Direct Deposit can pick up their 12/27/17 paychecks at The Scotts Valley Center, located at 100 Enterprise Way, from 9am - 10am on Wednesday, 12/27/17. A valid picture ID must be presented when picking up the paycheck. Paychecks not picked up on 12/27/17 will be delivered to the campus unit designated as the employee’s mail stop in the Payroll Personnel System no later than Wednesday, 1/3/18. Checks will generally not be available for pick-up on 1/2/18 because they will be in transit to Mail Services for delivery processing.

Information on Direct Deposit, including directions on how to enroll, is available online.
